Don’t Forget


Remember your last healing

Have you ever prayed God would correct something in your life, and He did? Have you ever asked Him to bless you, or a member of your family, and He did? Do you remember your last healing? Many of us are guilty of having some really short-term memories; we forget all the good things God has done for us way too soon. It’s like we pray and pray because our problem or situation is very serious, and then faithfully God answers our prayers, then before long we’ve forgotten all about His special “gift” or His blessing. We go back to all the other things we used to think about, and now, that which we prayed for, and got, are no longer a problem for us, so we just forget what He has done for us. Shame on us!

I am reminded by the Holy Spirit, it’s important that we stop and realize how complacent and forgetful we can be. I know I am guilty of forgetting His wonderful work myself. In fact, several weeks ago, I asked God to help me with an anxiety problem I was having. He graciously allowed me time to think about what I had been worrying about, and to come to realize I was trying once again to deal with life on my own. I know better, but I sometimes slip back into some old habits! Once I gave in and seriously confided that I needed Him to help me, all my reasons for worrying were gone! It was as though I had been struggling for nothing!

The Holy Spirit suggested today that I continue thanking God for what He has done for me. Fortunately, for me, He did just about the time I was almost starting to take Him for granted again. I am ashamed! Forgive me LORD! And, He softly says to me…”I WILL!”

Remember your blessings. Thank your Father for all He has given you and will continue to give you. Our God is an awesome God!

A Dead Battery

Last year, around the end of summer, our power-mower gave up the ghost. It was getting harder and harder to start every time I wanted to use it. So, I finally gave in to buying a new one. Bless her heart, my wife Sally told me if she didn’t have to pull that difficult, old starter-cord every time she wouldn’t mind helping me mow every once in a while. She even said it might be good exercise for her. This extra help with the yard work would be welcomed I thought. I went online checking out the outrageous prices of new lawnmowers; it had been four or five years since I bought our last one. Most of the retailers; Lowes, Home Depot,  WalMart and Sears were priced about the same, still way too much for me, but if I was going to get something Sally could start easily it would have to be one of the new key-start models where she didn’t have to pull a cord, she could just turn the key, like her car, and it would start right up. I bought one of these new models.They are great! Last week, an

We Rob God

Were God a greedy God He would expect ninety percent of our earnings leaving us the remaining ten to support our needs, He doesn’t though. Instead, He asks exactly the opposite of our potential, one tenth, a tithe. Have we excluded God out of our plans? Sure we have! Do we continue to exclude Him from what we want to believe is rightfully our world, our government, our lives? We not only exclude Him, we deny Him of what is rightfully His from the very beginning. Even worse, as a nation, a world, a people we deny He exist! We have declared He has no place in our government, our public buildings, and our schools. Pity us, it is no wonder we are under a curse as a nation with so much turmoil in our lives – we are robbing God. This is not a sermon, but wait, yes, it is! We are truly guilty of “me-ism.” We have become a world of “what about me?” Our insatiable greed has consumed us, so we have no choice but to continue feeding our monster, because it’s demanding more and more. Nothing is

Sanctity Given

A person can’t accomplish sanctification by themselves no matter how much he or she studies the Word or desires this quality. It is not even something God would produce in you as something you would contemplate yourself. Instead it is the Holy Spirit, His Spirit of holiness alone, who can or will communicate His holiness and continue to renew the same in you. By our complete faith we become partakers of His holiness. It is Jesus who sanctifies us for God.  (1 Corinthians 1:30) says, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God – and righteousness and sanctification and redemption – that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'” We seek to surrender ourselves to God by faith, so He may enable us to live life moment by moment. By His Spirit, we are to believe the Lord will, lead us into, and keep us in, this life of holiness and consecration to God’s service. We choose to live in obedience of faith, listening to God’s voice – the
